U.S. President Donald Trump called on Republicans to add Iran to a bill related to imposing sanctions on Russia.

Trump wrote in a post on his 'Truth Social' platform today (Sunday): 'Republicans should add Iran to the Russia sanctions bill. This is what Lindsey wanted, and it would have happened inevitably.'

Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal had introduced an updated bill regarding sanctions on Russia and buyers of Russian energy resources, which was developed with the participation of the late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham. The official version of the bill was published on the senator's website, according to the TASS news agency.

According to the text of the new version of the bill, named Graham in honor of the late senator, it proposes imposing restrictions on Russian President Vladimir Putin, senior military and political leaders in Russia, businessmen, state-owned companies, and foreign entities that, according to the U.S. side, support the Russian defense industry.

The bill proposes sanctions on the Russian Central Bank, Sberbank, and Gazprombank, in addition to major Russian energy projects, specifically the Yamal liquefied natural gas project, and three liquefied natural gas projects in the Arctic, as well as future Russian energy projects in the Arctic.

Instead of the previously proposed initiative to impose a 500% tariff on imports from countries that purchase energy resources from Russia, a 100% tariff is proposed on the top 5 countries buying Russian oil and natural gas, as well as 5 countries that help Russia circumvent Western energy sanctions.

Senators proposed imposing restrictions on what is called the shadow fleet. On July 14, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the chances of passing the sanctions bill against Russia are high. Axios reported that the timeline for the U.S. Senate to consider this initiative has not yet been determined.
